I-90 in North Bend has reopened after a mudslide halted all eastbound travelers overnight Monday.

Creating detours was hard for the drivers stuck on the highway. According to WSDOT crews, drivers were advised to backtrack, head to SR 2, then return to I-90. This detour took approximately 3.5 hours.
According to KIRO 7, roughly 100 semi trucks were spotted lining the side of the highway at 4 a.m. Tuesday, waiting for the road to reopen.
By 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, WSDOT reopened I-90 with the mudslide now clear.
